Reconstructing RFT through the Lens of the Interbehavioral Field: What is a Relational Frame Anyway? Open
The recent resurgence of Kantorian interbehavioral psychology in the context of relational frame theory (RFT) has prompted a reevaluation of RFT’s core concepts through an interbehavioral lens. Although RFT acknowledges its Kantorian roots…

Reflecting upon Similarities and Differences among the IAT, the IRAP, and the FAST: Searching for Clarity Open
The development of procedures to assess the psychological functions of stimuli has long been a prevalent endeavor in psychological science. It can be argued that one of the most influential of such procedures is the implicit association te…

Naming, Stimulus Equivalence and Relational Frame Theory: Stronger Together than Apart Open
Research on human language started to change when Murray Sidman and colleagues demonstrated that a participant was able to derive unreinforced stimulus relations after conditional discrimination training. This work provided the basis for a…

Recent Developments in RFT Encourage Interbehavioral Field-Based Views of Human Language and Cognition: A Preliminary Analysis Open
Relational frame theory (RFT) as a behavior-analytic approach to understanding human language and cognition is now over 40 years old. However, the last 8 years have seen a relatively intense period of empirical and conceptual developments …

Analyses of relational coherence and rule following: Consistent liars are preferred over occasional truth tellers Open
The current study explored the influence of different levels of speaker coherence on rule following and speaker preference. In Experiment 1, rules provided by three different speakers were either 100% accurate, 0% accurate, or 50% accurate…

Relating relational networks: An initial experimental analysis Open
Studying relating of relational networks is a complex and challenging task. The main objective of the present study was to demonstrate relating within and across relational networks based on same/opposite and bigger/smaller contextual cues…

Generalized contextual control based on nonarbitrary and arbitrary transfer of stimulus functions Open
Two experiments with human adults investigated the extent to which the transfer of function in accordance with nonarbitrary versus arbitrary stimulus relations may be brought under contextual control. Experiment 1 comprised four phases. Ph…

Relational frame theory 20 years on: The Odysseus voyage and beyond Open
The seminal text on relational frame theory (RFT) was published 20 years ago and purported to offer a single overarching behavior‐analytic account of human language and cognition. In the years thereafter, an increasing number of empirical …

Rule-governed behavior: An ongoing RFT-based operant analysis Open
Rule-governed behavior is broadly defined as verbal antecedent stimuli that specify dependence relations between stimuli and events. Since its conception, this definition has supported a relatively rich program of research within the exp…

Effects of coherence on speaker preference and rule-following Open
Rule-following is affected by multiple variables. A relevant aspect of rules regards whether they “make sense”, that is, the extent to which the instruction coheres with previously reinforced patterns of relational responding. The presen…

Back to the future with an up-dated version of RFT: More field than frame? Open
The current chapter presents an overview of a line of research that focuses on the behavioral dynamics of arbitrarily applicable relational responding (AARRing), and the implications of this research for the on-going development of relatio…

Exploring a Training <span>IRAP</span> as a single participant context for analyzing reversed derived relations and persistent rule‐following Open
Rule‐governed behavior and derived stimulus relations have always shared strong conceptual links within behavior analysis. However, experimental analysis linking the two domains remains limited. The current study consisted of three experim…
